hymen and period..?
So, a hymen is skin covering the entrance to your vagina, right?
Well, then how does menstrual blood get out if your hymen is still intact? Does it diffuse through it?
I always wondered about this. Sorry its kind of gross =/

It's more like a string of membrane rather than a flat piece of skin. Think of it as your vagina being an O and that your hymen is a string that goes through the O in the middleish

The hymen is a fold of skin near the entrance of the vagina that is usually present at birth. This is often considered a sign of virginity, but it can be absent or ruptured by tampon use or even vigorous exercise. The hymen usually has an opening to allow blood to pass through it during menstruation. However, this hole is missing in imperforate hymen, and so menstrual blood cannot escape.
